I expect that's why people also put in rapes or other ways of closing the windows...
(In my case, though, I 'd do it to keep that blasted midnight sun out! I want it DARK when I try to sleep!)
The big trick with these camper conversions is to make it usable without having to open a door.(Except for cooking. I really don't recommend open flame inside the car... )
It should be possible to go to bed without having to open a door at all.
On Mk. I (and possibly Mk. II) that is a bit of a bother because the rear seats when folded up ends up vertical behind the front seats. In effect you get a thick wall you'd either have to climb over or bypass by exiting the vehicle.
Removing the seats(don't know how difficult that is) results in a longer area(important for me and everyone else over 6' tall) and also gives access to the foot area in front of the rear seats, which an be used for additional storage.
On Mk. I I'd also consider replacing the front passenger seat with one from a Van since they an be folded flat to function as a table.
I may try my hand at building a camping interior for my Mk. I soon, but I also have more requirements than most.
And the most important of those is that the interior should take as little space as possible when stored outside of the car. In other words, it must 'flat pack' somehow. (Small garage, even smaller shed, no room in my apartment)
